The Moran Eye Center

Our vision: No person with a blinding condition, eye disease, or visual impairment should be without hope, understanding, and treatment.

The Moran Eye Center is the largest facility of its kind in the Intermountain West and offers access to more than 35 specialists. We provide leading-edge care for the full range of vision and eye conditions, including adult and pediatric retina, glaucoma, cataracts, cornea, neuro-ophthalmology, ophthalmic plastic surgery, pediatric ophthalmology, external eye diseases, and emergency services. We offer the latest advances in LASIK and refractive surgery, as well as a full range of optometry services including contact lenses and eyeglasses. Visit us at one of 11 convenient locations along the Wasatch Front.

Thanks to generous sponsors, a dedicated committee, and 500-plus guests—including local business and community leaders, physicians, families, patients, friends, and more than 60 volunteers—the John A. Moran Eye Center’s gala fundraiser, Night for Sight, was a terrific success. Held on May 1, 2015, at Salt Lake’s Grand America Hotel, the event raised over $410,000 to support Moran’s international and local outreach programs—an integral part of our mission to treat and cure preventable blindness and vision loss at home and around the world.

Eye to Eye: Re-visioning Eye Disease is an interactive exhibit that explores stories of eye disease in Utah and celebrates the many ways that people thrive by using their other senses and technology to adapt to low vision. As part of the Utah Futures gallery at the Natural History Museum of Utah, the exhibit also explores modern treatments that restore clear vision and the John A. Moran Eye Center’s efforts to make them available globally. It also examines exciting research on new treatments for corneal disease by Utah-based Jade Therapeutics.

Art Access Gallery is collaborating with The John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah for Visions, an exhibit bridging the worlds of art and science. The exhibit will consist of retinal photography by several participants as well as fused glass sculptures by Sarinda Jones, inspired by retinal art.
